Megadeth — Woodstock ’99, 1999

Filmed live concert by Megadeth at Woodstock ’99, captured on the East Stage of the former Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, New York, on Sunday July 25, 1999. Before a crowd estimated at over 200,000, the American thrash kings deliver a masterclass in technical precision and melodic aggression. This full concert features the classic late-1990s line-up — Dave Mustaine on vocals and guitar, Marty Friedman on lead guitar, David Ellefson on bass and Jimmy DeGrasso on drums — in one of its last major festival appearances before Friedman’s departure. The set runs through the classics Holy Wars… The Punishment Due, Reckoning Day, A Tout le Monde, Trust, Symphony of Destruction and Peace Sells, with heavy emphasis on hits from Cryptic Writings and Countdown to Extinction. An essential live capture documenting Megadeth at the peak of their touring power, between lightning-fast fretwork and pure thrash energy, at one of the most talked-about festivals in rock history.
